"Top tips to promote healthy childhood eating" by Celebrity Fitness Expert and Nutritionist Neeraj Mehta

Top tips to promote healthy childhood eating

  • Have regular family meals. Knowing dinner is served at approximately the same time every night and that the entire family will be sitting down together is comforting and enhances appetite. Breakfast is another great time for a family meal, especially since kids who eat breakfast tend to do better in school.
  • Get kids involved. Children enjoy helping adults to shop for groceries, selecting what goes in their lunch box, and preparing dinner. It's also a chance for you to teach them about the nutritional values of different foods, and (for older children) how to read food labels.
  • Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned vegetables.
  • Cut back on salty snacks as potato chips, nuts, and pretzels.
  • Choose low-salt or reduced-sodium products.
